“You beings on earth who are in deep slumber, awaken! Who among you has labored to run darkness into light and bitterness into sweetness?” Stop sleeping! Wake up! What are you waiting for? the Zohar
Our 38 day journey from DARKNESS TO LIGHT concluded yesterday with Epiphany.
The New Year has just begun: What are you taking with me from the past year? And what is it that I must let go of so to have more joyous experiences in the new year? – I am asking myself.
So, today and in the coming days, I am taking a hard look at what separates me from the Loving, from Oneness with the Divine abundance of all the goodness. I look back on my notes of the past 38 days to see what has showed up, then I do what needs to be done … I forgive, I release, I accept, I let go, I embrace …
The past year was exhausting, I learnt a lot, I understood more about myself, I had many challenging and painful experiences beside the joyous and wonderful ones, so its time for integration and (hopefully) change.
I am talking inner change, because I know very well that no change can occur in my physical experiences – I cannot bring the new into manifestation – if the energy I generate does not change.
I truly understand now that creating vision boards is not enough. One must do the inner work so the vison can manifest.
So, I am letting go, releasing, forgiving, embracing … so my outer experiences can alter.
It is time to move higher.
I wish that you and I find the blocks that prevent us from having the wonderful life that we wish for ourselves and have the courage to walk through it.
“You beings on earth who are in deep slumber, awaken! Who among you has labored to run darkness into light and bitterness into sweetness?” Stop sleeping! Wake up! What are you waiting for? the Zohar

Personally, I find that it is important to have a focus or an intention behind any endeavour.
Spending time with the intention to care for my mental health and spiritual well-being is always an effort. At the same time it can be fun! Reading short, warm, and enlightening messages and affirmations, doing a short task or listening to a piece of music take only a few minutes a day but it makes a gigantic difference in my life. During these few minutes a day, I peek out of the darkness, the world full of woe, into the Light: into the Peace, Joy, Love and Warmth of the Divine Presence.
I am going to walk this Christmas journey contemplating on the Divine Light and enjoying the sense of Peace, Joy and Love that it comes with.

Day 37.5
LISTEN!
The Twelfth Night
The Twelfth Night, celebrated on the night of Jan. 5, is considered the end of the Christmas season. Cultures, like the French and Spanish, celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany with a king’s cake, a coffee cake with purple, green and yellow icing to commemorate the visit by the magi to the Christ child. In western cultures, the King’s Cake is associated with Mardi Gras, and the season of Carnival. Churches also vary in their celebration of the Epiphany; Protestant churches celebrate it for an entire season, lasting until the season of Lent, while many Catholics celebrate it as a single day.
MESSAGE
Rev Kudlik tells us that the important message for me in the story of the three Magi and their 12-day journey to the new- born Jesus is Oneness. In my understanding, the three kings represent various levels of our human consciousness. I have suggested one interpretation before and now I am offering another one wrapped up in the short story of the Magi. I can see the three levels of our human consciousness – that are called: conscious, unconscious, and subconscious – as the three kings journeying together being led by the brightest Star in the sky. They make an arduous journey together during which they learn about each other, they even become friendly and, in certain ways, become aligned with each other. They arrive in the middle of the night. Upon their arrival they are in awe. They bow and acknowledge the greatness that they see in Christ, a higher level of Consciousness. Reaching Christ Consciousness is their goal that they have now arrived at and finally unite with. Their separation ends and in Oneness they find ultimate Peace and Loving.
These 12 days are a sacred inner journey of unfolding, learning, and becoming. When we come face to face with the vastness of who we truly are in the Christ Consciousness – as we call Oneness in Unity – we automatically become devout and grateful because we suddenly see ourselves in a new Light.
PRAYER
“May I be safe.” “May I be peaceful.” “May all beings be peaceful.”
ACTIVITY
Dwelling in Illumination – Sit in stillness and imagine yourself bathed in light. Allow it to settle into every place that once felt shadowed.
Closing Reflection
The darkness was not an absence, but a womb. The light is not an arrival, but a way of seeing.
Do some journaling if you like. Listen to the meditation/song (above) at least once.
Prayer of the Day
I rest in the truth of Oneness. There is only one Presence and one Power, God the Good, active in all. I am one with this Presence, whole and complete. I honour the Divine in every person, every being, and every part of creation. In this awareness, I live in harmony, guided by love, and grounded in peace. We are One.
Closing Blessing
May the light we have touched guide our steps. May the wisdom of many paths deepen our compassion. May we walk forward together—from darkness into light.

“You beings on earth who are in deep slumber, awaken! Who among you has labored to run darkness into light and bitterness into sweetness?” Stop sleeping! Wake up! What are you waiting for? the Zohar
What feels broken may be an opening. Light often enters where defenses fall away.
Silently release one resentment, even if only in intention.
In our Advent Booklet Rev. Shirley Knight tells us about The Power of Strength. With a loving heart we summon strength from the Source of all energy and wisdom. Focusing on the center of Being, we draw from the infinite flow of life. Sometimes quiet, sometimes expressive, the power of strength helps us move when it is time to move and stay when we are called to stay.
QUOTES
Christianity: “Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” (Luke 6:37) Buddhism: “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but by love alone.” (Dhammapada) Islam: “Pardon and reconcile; God loves those who do good.” (Qur’an 5:13)
ACTIVITY
Allowing the Cracks – Reflect on a moment of vulnerability or failure. Consider how openness might allow light to enter.
Closing Reflection
The darkness was not an absence, but a womb. The light is not an arrival, but a way of seeing.
Do some journaling if you like. Listen to the meditation/song (above) at least once.
On this day, I affirm … I summon strength from the love of all creation.
Closing Blessing
May the light we have touched guide our steps. May the wisdom of many paths deepen our compassion. May we walk forward together—from darkness into light.

Day 27
LISTEN!
‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’ By Kelly Clarkson
12 Days of Christmas “We will continue our daily devotionals through Epiphany on January 6.
Epiphany traditionally commemorates the day that the magi reached the baby Jesus, bringing their gifts and their intuitive knowledge that this child would alter history. The word epiphany means “revelation.” Each Christmas reveals to us anew the divine energy that is born in every child, the spiritual gifts that each of us brings to this human experience.
Having just celebrated the inborn Christ in Jesus and in us, we will explore in these next 12 days the idea that we are divine and what it means for us. Unity teaches that we are equipped with 12 inner powers or attributes of God to be developed throughout our lives.
By focusing on these 12 innate qualities, we can enter into 2026 with a fresh understanding of our own spiritual nature. We invite you to explore these 12 powers within yourself and consider ways to bring them forth and use them more intentionally as you journey through the coming year.”
MESSAGE – Listening Closely
Listen closely, the voice that speaks gently is the one worth following.
Our Advent Booklet says today that from the powerful season of Advent and the Christmas celebrations We have renewed our awareness of the divine light within each of us.
Rev. Juan del Hierro says, that as we move on, we focus first on the power of faith, one of the 12 qualities of our inner Christ light. Jesus shared many times that God can do amazing things through our faith, even if it’s the size of a mustard seed, so don’t minimize the power of your faith. Even a little faith can grow into something mighty, something bound to change your life and change our world.
QUOTES
Judaism: “Shema—Listen.” (Deuteronomy 6:4) Islam: “Those who listen to the word and follow the best of it.” (Qur’an 39:18) Buddhism: “Right listening leads to right understanding.”
ACTIVITY
Listening Deeply – Pause once today to truly listen to another person or to your inner voice.
Naming Without Judgment – Silently name what arises in you today—fear, grief, hope, longing. Release the need to label it as good or bad.
Closing Reflection
The darkness was not an absence, but a womb. The light is not an arrival, but a way of seeing.
Do some journaling if you like. Listen to the meditation/song (above) at least once.
On this day, I affirm … I have faith in the light within me.
Closing Blessing
May the light we have touched guide our steps. May the wisdom of many paths deepen our compassion. May we walk forward together—from darkness into light.
